Chelsea has won the English Premier League title with their 23rd shot against a resilient West Brom side who were looking for a Europa League spot.
The game's only goal came from the boots of substitute Mitchy Batshuayi who was making his second League appearance. It got until the 83rd minute of the game after a cross came from the right hand side from Ceaser Azpilicueta which Batshuayi was on hand to poke home behind the touch of Foster.

To confirm their position and claim the trophy, Chelsea only needed to win their next game leading the standings on the EPL table with 7points after 36games ahead of closest rival Tottenham who if they win their next game will amass 80points.
